Product Information
Full details
The Vango Gravity Grande sleeping bag is an ideal choice for festival-goers, casual campers, and weekend adventurers who prioritize comfort and freedom of movement over extreme weight savings. Its square-shaped design eliminates the restrictive feeling of traditional mummy bags, while the brushed polyester lining and Thermolock insulation provide reliable warmth in moderate conditions. While it is perfect for 2-season camping, users should note that its bulkier profile makes it less suitable for long-distance backpacking where weight and pack size are critical factors.

FAQs
What does the 2-season rating mean?
A 2-season rating indicates the bag is suitable for late spring through early autumn use, with a comfort rating of 8°C.
Can I zip two of these bags together?
This bag features a two-way zip system, but compatibility depends on the specific matching zip side (left or right) of the second bag.
How do I machine wash the bag?
Use a gentle, cool machine wash with a non-biological detergent and ensure the bag is fully air-dried.
Is this suitable for a winter trek?
No, this is a 2-season bag designed for moderate temperatures and will not provide sufficient warmth for freezing winter conditions.
What is the benefit of the square shape?
The square shape provides more room for your legs and shoulders, which is much more comfortable for side-sleepers or those who dislike feeling restricted.
Is the stuffsack waterproof?
The included stuffsack is designed for easy transport and storage, but it is not fully waterproof; keep it inside your main pack if trekking in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Zip getting caught on lining fabric
Hold the zip guard or inner fabric away from the teeth while operating the zipper slowly.
Bag feels less warm than usual
Ensure the bag has been fully shaken out to regain loft and check that the hood drawcord is properly cinched.
Difficulty putting bag back into the stuffsack
Roll the bag tightly from the bottom to the top to push out trapped air before inserting it into the sack.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Vango Gravity Grande is straightforward: simply remove it from the included drawcord stuffsack and shake it out to allow the Thermolock insulation to loft. For storage, it is recommended to keep the bag loosely stored in a cool, dry place rather than compressed in its bag for extended periods to preserve insulation integrity. When cleaning, the sleeping bag is machine washable; use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and ensure the bag is completely dry before storing it away. The hanging loops are located at the base of the bag, making it simple to hang vertically for airing out after a trip.
